Ok My first post is all mao(I promise, more mainstream
OVERVIEW
No one reason will result in spells going wild like this and becoming living beings. Sometimes it is a botched casting, other times wild magic area or just the target making their save. All are at least average rodent level intelligence, unless otherwise noted. Hostility level varies greatly but only a very few will be helpful(but not unknown). Most also fly unless otherwise noted.
1 Charm Person
Manifests as baseball sized glowing green globe.Gains control of nearest sapient life form(No Save) Victim immediately melees nearest living being as it's eyes glow green.Physical damage is split 50/50 between Spell and target.Will move to other targets if first one is rendered unconscious.
2 Inflict Minor Wounds
One of the non-fliers, moves about 40 ft a min. slithering on the ground as a black irregulr square. It will slither up anyliving thing that it can catch.Will do damage as long sword(no save) as previous wounds of the target open up. Only killed by cure spells. Low Hit points.
3 Burning Hands
Spell is a 15' flat semi circle, 1 inch thick, living flame. Flaps like a bird to fly quickly. Attacks and damaged like normal low level creature with a 2 handed sword., takes double damage from water and cold spells, Low HP, moderate difficulty to hit them from high agility
4 Cure Light Wounds
When not attached to a weapon, looks like standing 2 D white shadow of a humanoid. It ataches itself to the most magical weapon in it's general vicinity and becomes invisible The weapon now in addition to inflicting it's normal damage now also casts a minor cure spell on whatever it hits. Only removed by curse effecting spells.
5 Pyrotechnics
This spectacular looking spell bursts into harmless mini fireworks about the size of a beach ball. Will follow you around like a puppy giving a beautiful and attention getting display .Dispelled by one full minute of applause from at least three individuals.
6 Shield
Looks like semi transparent tower shield. Interposes itself between combatants providing minor shield bonus to random individuals. Destroyed by moderate damage, Takes 1/2 damage from non-magical sources.
7 Warp Wood
Invisible force that creates impotence. easily cured with Dispel Magic or any curse effecting spell , but then moves on to nearest male after it reforms in 24 hours. Silly urban quest to permanently rid Royal Castle of it.
8 Knock
Silver Glowing fist of human intellect, that hates spellcasters. Will rap on spellcaster while they are casting, causing a moderate chance of spell failure. Only damaged by non-magic weapons.
9 Luck
Invisible force that causes wild fluctuations to the infected's luck. 50/50 chance every die roll will go up or down by d4(will vary with system used). Only way to rid yourself of it is to make 2 critical successes and or failure in a row. Force will disperse for 24 hours then will reform where it was dispelled, waiting for next target.

14 Gust of Wind
This unseen force is roughly horse sized and greatly inhibits movement in its area. Low Hp but both incorporeal and invisible.
15 cook
For decade's sages and mystic have been baffled by this one. A harmless cantrip that far too frequently manifests as a nuisence. Starting as a lemon brown gassy cloud that attacks it's targets mouth with moderate skill in an attempt to get inside. it has Low Hit Points and is difficult to hit.due to size. If it gets in the target has uncontrolled flatulence for 2-5 days.

mao each one of these living spells will need their own thread and you can just copy paste that part. Then we will need to flesh them out and add history to them. I have only glanced down through the list, so when you make the new thread, explain and clarify the concept.
